The spy was now approaching the central city, which was where the Void Bus had left from back then.
This was considered a 'moderate radiation zone'. Although it was only moderate, the radiation level was much higher than outside. The plants did not seem to be any different from the surroundings, as they still covered the surrounding buildings.
There was a large square in front of her, covered with low plants. Among the plants, she could see many fragments of buildings and some large creatures moving about.
This seemed to be the largest creature Lin had seen since she arrived.
This creature was called a 'light hammer' by the Voidfolk. It was a creature with six limbs, a height of more than five meters, and a length of more than ten meters. It looked like a long-necked dinosaur, but its head was a hammer. It was said that it was used to fight for mates and hit trees. It also seemed to emit a special glow at night.
Because of its beautiful appearance, it was kept in a 'zoo' in large numbers and was later placed in the radiation zone.
These creatures were not marked as extinct, only the wild population had gone extinct …
'Bang!'
Just as Lin was thinking about it, a loud noise came from the empty space. The large creatures were instantly frightened and fled in one direction, disappearing into the forest beside the empty space.
"Damn it … I missed again." "Wait! There's an intruder here! "
At the same time, in the opposite direction of the creatures, a group of armed Voidfolk in protective suits rushed out.
The moment they saw the spy, they immediately rushed over and shouted, "How did you get in here?"
"Captain! Look, it's not wearing a protective suit! " "Who are you? Hurry up and take it away! "
The Voidfolk said as they grabbed the spy. They pulled the spy to the east side of the empty space. Lin found a small chariot there.
It should be an infantry carrier. The back half of the vehicle was like a box. It had a lot of space and could carry a large number of infantrymen, but it did not have any combat functions.
The soldiers brought the spy into the vehicle and asked a lot of questions. Most of them were about how the spy was able to walk in the radiation zone.
If the spy was not wearing a protective suit, the Voidfolk would have fainted in no time.
However, Lin did not answer them. Instead, she looked around the vehicle.
After the Voidfolk got into the vehicle, there were still a lot of seats left in the vehicle. However, these seats were not empty. Instead, there were many corpses of creatures. Other than the corpses, there were also many pieces of meat.
Were they eating creatures here?
"Hey! Why aren't you saying anything? " The two Voidfolk pressed the spy against a wall and pointed their weapons at the spy's face. "Do you know that entering this place is a crime punishable by death?"
"It might be affected by radiation and can't speak." The Voidfolk called Captain said, "But this kind of body that can resist this level of radiation is very rare, so we have to keep it."
"When we reach the base, you should be able to explain to us why you're here, right?"
The armored vehicles slowly advanced through the ruins of the forest. Lin observed the scenery outside. They seemed to be heading towards an area near the central area.
A large number of strange plants grew here. Lin saw a plant that looked like a 'King Flower'. It had bright colors. Blooming on the ground.
And in the center of this pile of flowers, there was a tall hemispherical building. Xu Min parked the vehicle in front of the building.
This building … Lin had read about it before. It was a facility known as the 'Underground Shelter'.
These things were specially made to withstand large scale disasters such as the Type 78 bomb explosion. Only a small part of them was on the surface. It was said that there were complete facilities below.
The Voidfolk used something to bind the spy's hand and pulled him down.
"You, go and carry the prey. You, go and check on the water supply. Why hasn't the water supply been fixed since it broke?" The Captain ordered. Several Voidfolk immediately ran off while the Captain led the two Voidfolk who were holding the spy into the building.
"Open." The door opened at the Captain's order. After the Voidfolk entered, the door immediately closed.
Lin saw that this was a strange place. The walls were white all around, the floor was a net-like floor, and there were many tube-shaped objects on the roof …
"Disinfect now."
As soon as the voice rang out, a large amount of water sprayed out from the tube-shaped objects on the roof. Lin sensed that the water was not normal water, it seemed to be mixed with many other ingredients.
"This is used to clean the radioactive dust on your body or on your protective suit." The Captain seemed to be 'kind' enough to explain to the spy: "It can be cleaned very cleanly."
After being sprayed, Lin indeed felt that there were no more radioactive particles on her body. Following that, the next door opened and they led the spy into it.
Following that was a long and narrow passage. The Captain and the two Voidfolk took off their protective suits and led the spy down. The passage led to a very deep place. After reaching the end and passing through another door, Lin was finally able to see the contents of the shelter.
This place … felt like … a place that could be translated as an 'internet café'.
A large number of Voidfolk were operating the neatly arranged 3D devices here, observing the contents on them.
However, most of the Voidfolk in the 'internet café' were playing some entertainment, while the Voidfolk here seemed to be researching something. From her position, Lin could barely see what they were researching, it seemed to be something related to living things.
"Captain!" one of the Voidfolk suddenly walked over. He looked at the spy and asked: "What happened to it?"
"We found it at the square." The Captain glanced at the spy and said: "It seems to have some kind of radiation resistance ability, we need to conduct a detailed investigation."
"But before that … I want to ask why it came here."
…
"You know how to operate this, right?" In a small and dim room, the spy was placed alone.
The wall in front was transparent. A few Voidfolk stood there and looked over. The Captain was also there. He said: "Answer the question by typing words into the image."
"What are you doing here?" the spy typed in the first sentence.
"No, we are asking you a question," the Captain said: "First, tell us how you came in."
Lin thought for a moment and typed: "The aircraft crashed, fell in, and then wandered here …"
"…" The Captain was silent for a few seconds. Then he asked one of the Voidfolk beside him: "Is this true?"
"It should be …" the Voidfolk said: "The lie detector did not respond."
"Very well." The Captain hesitated for a moment and said: "Then I will tell you, you have committed a very serious crime by coming here, even if it was the cause of an accident."
"However, you can offset this crime, as long as you join us here to work," the Captain said: "I see that you have a very strong radiation resistance ability, you can be of great help."
The spy also made a slight hesitation before saying to the Captain: "Very well."
"… You can speak?"
…
Just like that, Lin's spy joined this strange group. Later, they asked the spy a bunch of questions, but they were all about nationality, family matters, and so on.
They also made the spy sign something called a contract, which was mainly used as a work agreement.
After dealing with these troublesome things, they gave the spy a set of equipment, and the spy officially joined them.
They mainly wanted the spy to go to the heavy radiation area to carry out a mission, as if they wanted the spy to find something.
Their protective suits could not resist the heavy radiation, but the Captain thought that the protective suits and the spy's physique would allow them to be completely unafraid of the threat of the heavy radiation area.
However, before the mission, the Captain said that there was a period of 'observation' for the spy to stay in the shelter.
And Lin also began to investigate this place ….
"This is a very big place. Be careful not to get lost. There is not only one shelter here, there are many, but they are all connected underground, so we have built a very large structure here. Area 10 is the residential area, Area 11 is … Are you listening?"
A Voidfolk followed the spy. It was the 'guide' arranged by the Captain. Its task was to introduce the spy to the situation here.
"Do you hunt here?" The spy and the guide walked in a passage, and there were many Voidfolk pushing some meat and corpses on small carts.
"Yes," the guide said. The leader said, "We hunt here, but we don't eat it. There are many rich people outside who buy the meat here at a high price. They don't want to eat the farmed wild algae and meat filled with hormones. They want to eat this' pure natural 'meat. This is also one of the sources of funds to run this place."
The spy said, "Will there be any problems?"
"Our hunting is limited. There will be no indiscriminate killing," the guide said. "The radiation problem will be cleaned first. Although it may not be very clean, a small amount is no problem."
"…" The spy did not speak.
"Why are you always …" The guide who was walking in front suddenly stopped and looked at the spy. "Expressionless …"
The spy asked, "What kind of expression do you like?"
"I just feel … uncomfortable looking at expressionless faces. I don't mind, but the Captain prefers to see his subordinates smiling." The guide said, "Forget it. Now you should have a basic understanding of the environment here. We will have to carry out the mission soon …"
"No," the spy said. "You haven't said what this place is for."
The guide said, "It is to maintain vitality."
"Maintain … vitality?"
